Understanding Women's Mind Games

Think A Girl Is Playing Mind Games With You? Read This

3. Ask A Friend

Taking relationship advice normally goes something like this: you know that you're only seeing things from one perspective because you're in the relationship, so you call a friend for advice. He tells you something you don't want to hear, so naturally you completely discount his advice because hey – he's not in the relationship anyway.

Keep your mind open though; your buds have your best interest at heart. If you're in a completely baffling situation, there's a good chance your friends have been there before and know what to do, or, more likely, what mistakes they made that you could avoid.

4. Your Brain Is Physically Different From Hers

Men's brains are shaped differently than women's — larger, but not actually smarter among other differences — and that has an impact on the way you perceive a problem. According to one study, “Men and women appear to use different parts of the brain to encode memories, sense emotions, recognize faces, solve certain problems and make decisions.” Bear that in mind and try to use a bit of empathy and understanding when making decisions.

5. Stand Your Ground

Here's a conundrum. You see a girl who is wearing sexy clothing, but gets mad at you when you check her out. This can range of course from the ironic “Stop staring at my t*ts” t-shirts to yoga pants that blur the lines between sexy and functional.

So is this a mind game, or what? Whatever it is, don't sweat it. If you've been caught staring and she's either really mad at you or just playing with you to get a rise, either way there's no way making it into a bigger deal is really going to help. If you suspect she's playing a game, just smile at her and tell her she looks good in what she's wearing.
